MMSC #90

Greetings to my visitors once again - I am so flattered that you keep coming back to visit.

This card was made for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #90, and with a specific person in mind. Some time ago I tried the "Black Magic" technique and this time it worked - I ended up with a row of samples all coloured up with Stampin' Up pencils, so when I reached for this image, it set the colours for the balance of the card.

I love the way the colours almost shimmer in strong light and the white highlights really bring the image to life.

This was mounted on a spellbinders lacy square, which I had cut in white card and backed with some blue.

The rest of the card was constructed to the sketch, using mid-yellow paper that was embossed with the Swiss dots folder, over cream card. For the other features I used pink ribbon and card, and blue half pearls, and punched the bottom border with a Fiskars punch.

The lacing on the corners of the image was done using some multi coloured metallic thread that I had on hand, and I used pearls to accent this too.
